County Campaign Meeting.
The first meeting of the campaign for
this county was held at Ehrhardt Tuesday,
and was attended by at least eight
hundred persons, the occasion being enlivened
by a great picnic dinner and a
dance the same evening. We exceedingly
regret our inability to be present, but
it could not be helped.
Mr. C. R. Clayton, president of the
Ehrhardt Democratic club, took charge
of the meeting and introduced Mr. D. P.
Smith, who presided and presented the
candidates.
The speeches were all quiet, and nothing
of an interesting 01 sensational nature
occurred. All the candidates were present
and were listened to attentively by
the large crowd present, among whom
were many fair ladies.
Judging from this meeting, the'canvass
in this county will be a very tame one.
He Found Out.
"I think," she said, "that kissiug's
foolish, don't you ?"
"Well," he replied, "there certainly is
a good deal of foolishness connected
with it."
They looked earnestly at each other a
little while. Then she wriggled around
and said:
"Oh, dear! I feel so foolish this
evening! I wonder what's the matter
with me?"

Edith?Why did you refuse him ?
Ethel?He has a past. Edith?But he
can blot it out. Ethel?Perhaps; but he

Wedding Bells
Mr. Henry F. Bamberg and Miss Mabel
Brabham were happily married Wednesday
evening of last week, the ceremony
taking place at the handsome home of the
bride's father on Railroad Avenue. Rev.
M. W. Hook, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, was the officiating minister. The
wedding was a quiet one, and only a few
relatives and intimate friends of the contracting
parties were invited to witness
the marriage.
The groom is the youngest son of Gen.
F. M. Bamberg, and the bride is the oldest
daughter of Mr. C. R. Brabham, one
of our leading merchants. They are both

Along with their man)- friends, The
Herald extends congratulations and
good wishes.
Sheriff Hunter's Name Forged.
We clip the followiug from last Monday's
State:
Bamberg, July 20.?Saturday morning
Sheriff Hunter was surprised to receive a
notice from the Bamberg Banking Company
to the effect that they had received
a check from the bank at Barnwell, endorsed
by Sheriff Creech of that place,
aud apparently signed by Sheriff Hunter.
The check was drawn for $10 and was
made payable to one John Turner, who,
it was found upon investigation, had
forged Sheriff Hunter's name to it. The
forgery is said to be a very clever one,
and would not have been detected so
quickly had it not been for a private
arrangement made between the bank
and the sheriff here for mutual convenience
in keeping the private and public
accounts of this officer separate.
Turner is a medium sized mau, has
only one arm, light sandy hair and
! mustache and is still at large. Every ]
effort will no doubt be made by both |
the sheriff here and at Barnwell to i
capture him.
Social and Otherwise.
bamberg again victorious.
Last Thursday was a big day for the j
Bamberg base ball team. It was also a ,
very long day, lastiug from four o'clock
a. m. Thursday until 3.30 a. m. Friday, i
The boys managed to pull their eyes open |
and peep out ou the early dawn at four j.
o'clock. At five the ride started and ]
that without any breakfast. But this '
seemed to put our boys in better trim, for 1
when Orangeburg was reached they were
feeling fine and prepared to put up a stiff ]
opposition against the tough proposition '
which awaited them. We were met by I
the team of Orangeburg boys, and as- J,
signed to the places which would be our
homes while there. At five o'clock the !
game started. Bamberg took the willow
first and down went three men in one, j
two, three, order. In came Orangeburg
and pushed two men over home plate, (
thus gaining a lead. Bamberg failed (
again to score, but the Orangeburg boys !
did the same thing for the next three !
innings, not scoring again until the fifth. ^
While Orangeburg was failing to score ?
duriug those three innings, Bamberg I
came in for her share and pushed five ;
men over the rubber. Orangeburg got in :
one man i* the fifth, three in the seventh, ;
and one in the eighth, making their total
seven. The Bamberg boys put one iu ,
the sixth, another in the seventh, and J
four in the eighth, making their total
eleven. When Orangeburg came in for
her half of the ninth, some beautiful ^
throwing was done for Bamberg by Stead- j
man. Three men were put down in one,
two, three order while trying to steal c
second base. But they never reached T
there any more, and the game belonged
to Bamberg. Thus was Orangeburg de- c
feated for the second time this season by ^
the Bamberg. ball tossers. Score by *

Many expressions were heard from the

way in which they were treated. At nine *
o'clock the mules Upulled out" for home,
and carried with them a set of boys happy ^
over their victory. Songs and cheers e
were given at intervals, but it was a C
sleepy crowd before home was reached. a

an event of interest.
e
An event which is of interest to the f
social life of Bamberg took place last ^
Wednesday night at the home of Mr. C. ^
R. Brabham ou Railroad Avenue. Miss a
Mabel Brabham and Mr. H. F. Bamberg
were united in matrimony. Everything u
being in order at nine o'clock, the young
couple entered the parlor, where their a
friends were waiting to witness the y
solemn occasion. Rev. M. W. Hook pronouuced
the words which joined together j
these two young lives. After the ceremony
all the guests entered an adjoining
room where there awaited them a most
enjoyable supper. Only the immediate
families were present. This event removes
from the social circles of Bamberg
two popillar young people. That they
will be missed is felt by all.
straw ride.
The straw ride last Monday night was
a success in every way. Three wagons
were used to convey the crowd of young
people to the home of Capt. W. S. Bamberg,
about four miles from town. When
the place was reached there awaited all of
the boys and girls the best time imaginable.
Music and games entertained us (
from the beginning to the end. Water- (
melon was served and relished. Later in .
the evening, or rather early in the morn- *
ing, cream and cake was served, which c
was enjoyed even more than the delicious (
watermelon, me riue oacK in tue moonlight
was hue. As the clock was striking *

way home, pleased with the very fine and '
enjoyable time which Miss Ethel Bam- *
berg had given them. '

The base ball team's festival Tuesday ;
night did not turn out as well as the boys
had hoped. The weather was threaten- ,
ing in the early part of the evening but ,
afterwards turning out to be a pretty ;
j night. The crowd was small, consequently ;
the amount taken in was not at all large,
j amounting to only eleven dollars.
Withdraws the Charge.
Washington, July 22.?Lieut. Gov.
Tillman, of South Carolina, today telegraphed
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow that he withdraws the
charge that his mail had been tampered
with in the postoffice at Pickens, S. C.
The charge alleged that valuable political
papers addressed to Mr. Tillman had
been obtained from the Pickens post office
by an unknown party. The case is now
in the hands of post office inspectors for
investigation, but no report has been received
from them.

Mitchell, of Batesburg, has been visiting
his sister, Mrs. J. B. Guess.
Edmund Perry, of Johnston, is in town
enjoying a pleasure trip.
The young folks had a picnic near town
this week. Some of those present were :
Mozelle Kearse, Fannie Gillam, Myrtle
McNeeley, Ethel Blackman, Inez Zorn,
Julia Zorn, Lillian Goolsby, Annie Bell
Metz, Gladys Rountree, Harvey Goolsby,
Ralph Goolsby, James Guess, St. Clair

Walker. They were chaperoued by Mrs.
Ellen Turkett.
Mrs. G. E. Stokes has returned from
Oraugeburg.
Senn and May Ruth Tindal came back
from Columbia to-day.
Miss Inez Zorn had a large number of >
her young frieuds to attend a sociable at
her house this week. They say they had 1
a fine time. 1
Mr. Malcolm N. Rice, of Olar, was in 11
town this week, on a visit to friends. He i
was capturing votes rmht and left by his
hearty handshakes. He is a young man
of hue address and pleasant manners. Be
sure to vote for him. We believe he will ]
be nominated; he's certain to be if he 1
just gets enough votes. This is the age '
of the young men; they are to the front
in everything. Rice is a young man, per- t
haps the youngest candidate for the I
House; Therefore vote for him. Then, t
he is strong geographically. Siuce Bam- r
berg county was formed his section of the 1
county has not had a representative. The r
towns of Bamberg and Denmark are full 1
of clever, hue men?meu who have a keen t
sense of justice; come now fellow citizens, I
let's do the fair thing and the right thing c
by giving Olar a representative in the t
person of M. N. Rice. One reason why i
Ellerbe was nominated for governor, he r
was strong geographically: it had been (
many years since the Eastern part of
South Carolina had a representative in \
the executive mansion. W. H. W. \

Parties, straw rides, socials, and marriages
are the amusements of the times. c
3n last Wednesday evening a very pleas- D
int "At Home" was given at the home of .
Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hill, on Park Avenue.
There were twenty three couples and d
several stags present. The home was very 0
orilliant; the yard being lighted with
Japanese lanterns added much to its 8
oeauty. Some excellent music was ren- P
lered by those present, and at eleven I
j'clock refreshments were served. All s
jxpressed having a very enjoyable even- c
ng, and verily they should, as Miss 0
Bessie, the charming little hostess, did all
she could to render pleasure. Indeed the e
vriter did, as 'twas given in its honor. r

Branchville, July 22.?The game of
base ball between Ehrhardt and Brancliville
was played last Wednesday at
Howell's old mill and resulted in a victory
for us, 18 to 4. The game started at
3 o'clock, in the heat of the day, and
several fellows came very near being
prostrated. Everybody arrived at the
mill about 11 o'clock, and then the fun
commenced. Crowds of ladies from both
places V/ere in attendance, who assisted in
making the fun merrier. At dinner time
the contents of the baskets were spread
out for those that were disposed to eat.
It was a measly shame to wipe up Ehrhardt
so near their home, but it couldn't
be helped. The "tenth inning" resulted
in a fight-between one of our nonplayers
and one of Ehrhardt's. No serious

McLaurin Refuses Judgeship. 1
Oyster Bay, L. I., July 21.?The greatst
surprise prevails in official circles here
might over the refusal of Senator Mc- J
aurin to accept the appointment of judge j
f the United States court of appeals.
The most surprised person is President I
oosevelt himself. It is said on the highit
authority that when Senator McLaurin
as the presiden ts guest at luncheon here
.st Saturday a week ago he assured the
lief executive that he would accept the
[flee if offered t.im.
The president, it is said, thought nothig
more of the matter as, according to a
sry high authority, McLaurin had given
le president his practical assurance that
e would shortly resign the senatorship
[ order to accept the new office.
It is also stated on the same high au- '
tority that Tillman's proposed fight to
revent McLaurin from accepting the
flee would not have materialized if Mcaurin
would hs.ve decided to accept the
flofK
The president earnestly hoped that Mcaurin
would take the judgeship and he
ould have helped to repudiate any effort

another account of it.
Oyster Bay, X Y., July 21.?President
loosevelt is in receipt of a letter from
enator John L. McLaurin, of South .
arolina declining the proffered appointlent
to the vacancy on the bench of the ,
nited States court of claims. The presieut,
it can be said, much regrets Senator J
[cLaurin's decision, as he believes that [cLanrin's
senatorial experience and his 1
areer as attorney general of South Caro- {
na would have rendered him a particuirly
good addition to the court of claims. '
The president; now is uncertain w hat he J
'ill do about Senator McLaurin. It is 1
nderstood that, he is anxious to appoint
im to some position in recognition of '
'hat the president regards as his service
a the country f.nd his demonstrated abili- j
jr in public life. Senator McLaurin's
;tter is couct: ed in the most positive
arms and evidently was based in paricular
upon a newrpaper article
chick accompanied the letter. The article
tated that the senator had sold himself
or the prospect of getting such an office
s that offered to him. It can be said,
lowever, that the president regarded such
type of accusation as beneath notice and
incerely regrets that Senator McLaurin
hould have deemed it necessary to pay
,nv attention to it.
ioriQtnr McLaurin evidentlv has
hanged his mind about accepting the
coffered appointment since he was in
)yster Bay on. July 11. At that time he
ndicated his readiness to accept the
acancy on the court of claims and the
inly question then was when he should
esign from the senate.

Meeting at Barnwell
Barnwell, July 22?The Senatorial
and Congressional candidates' meeting
was held here to-day. The meeting was
begun in the Court House, but the crowd
increased to such an extent that the meeting
was transferred to the grove in the
centre of the town.
At least 350 people were present and a
more orderly crowd has not been encountered
on this campaign. There were no
new and striking features.
Mr. Evans ana Mr. Henderson had a
little tilt, which was enjoyed by all, and
in which i4Dan'' Henderson came out with
only a few feathers ruffled aud a lot of
cheer's from his Barnwell friends.
The other incident was: Mr. Latimer
read that portion of the campaign report
made at Hampton on Saturday aud an
; swered more fullv the ckartres made bv
Mr. Johnstone.
Mr. Johnstone had the records with him
to-day and prodded Mr. Latimer hard.
The meeting to-day demonstrated that
the candidates realize that the race is half
over and the campaign promises to be a
warm one henceforth.
The Congressional candidates, Messrs.
Croft, Thurmond,and Bellinger addressed
the audience after the Senatorial meeting.

Indigestion 19 often caused by overrating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you wint but don't overload
the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
loon restore health. Dieting unnecessary.
